Anglo-Saxon Kent Electronic Database (ASKED)

Title: Anglo-Saxon Kent Electronic Database (ASKED)
Description: eng The Anglo-Saxon Kent Electronic Database (ASKED) is a collaboratively built research tool, developed to facilitate the doctoral research of two students of the UCL Institute of Archaeology: Stuart Brookes, investigating state formation in Anglo-Saxon East Kent, and Sue Harrington, examining aspects of gender and craft production in early Anglo-Saxon England with particular reference to the early kingdom of Kent. The aim of ASKED was to enumerate all those individuals within eastern Kent for the period AD 400-750 for whom there is archaeological burial evidence. The project produced a comprehensive electronic register of the archaeological remains and material culture of these populations, thus providing for the first time a searchable corpus of this information. The database lists 52 cemeteries from eastern Kent, as well as the inhumations and objects interred within. Information for these burials is derived from published reports and the inspection of museum archival material.
